Why does Self require so much memory?
Also, I have a SPARCstation 1+ w/40 meg. of ram...
The Self UI runs somewhat slowly. The performance benchmarks quoted in the
various Self documents would make me think the UI would be quite snappy.
Why isn't it?
I really like what I have seen so far. I cannot think of another language
with as much power and flexibility (I just wish it was a little smaller and
faster).
One more question...
I am a fan of Scheme and its functional syntax. Could a functional "front
end" be written for Self? Not necessarily Scheme compatible, just "lisp-ish".
Thanks, Dick
